If you guys have any questions you want me to ask (or try to, anyway) the devs, you can put them here.

Don't forget about this.

Is that a political statement?

It was a fun diversion, but not something I'd invest time or money in. The demo is already uninstalled. Like I said, though, fun. Just not really my cup of awesomeness.

And a human being!

I woke up at 3AM to unlock HL2 on release day

Horses don't belong in the Realms, or the devs would have added them.

Some do, some don't? You'll have to check their individual links to see which one doesn't.

Okay, finished going through all those mods. On the whole, some of the them were pretty good choices. Others were just standard mainstream fare.

I was lucky that one of the servers on 3dgamer had no wait line. Installing now.

You.

Here are the ten winners http://www.bioware.com/biozone/articles/20...ontest_winners/ And here's a Biodude rambling about it http://www.bioware.com/biozone/articles/20...osing_thoughts/ ___________ The 5 chosen by the panel: 1) Myranni's Magic is a nice mod. I put my seal of approval on it when I played it a couple of months ago. 2) A Realm Below is a pretty original mod, with creative design. Fun. 3) Aspects is another one I put my seal of approval on. I was quite impressed back then. Ironically, the community rated this one rather harshly. It wasn't mainstream enough, if you will. 4) To be honest, I wouldn't have selected A Moonless Night. It was a solid mod with good effort, but it wasn't really very enticing, and the bulk of it was completely railroading (though with illusionary effect). 5) Ghosts of the Past was pretty good. Nice depiction of what I'd like to see in terms of an adventuring party in a Bioware title. There was a bit much background/exposition, but it served its purpose well. _____________________ The 5 community voted: 1) Firestarter didn't really impress me. Solid writing and decent design, but nothing really mindblowing. Nothing against Adam Miller, but I smell a popularity context. 2) I didn't find much to rave about in Walking with the Ghost. Oh well. 3) A Hero's Death. This one had some pretty creative storytelling in it, actually. Fairly linear, but that was pretty acceptable, from the way it was designed. I'd have given this the thumbs up, probably. 4) The Badger, the Cat and the Book was decent, nothing more. 2) Find the Fish was a nice little fun detective adventure. Kobolds have now been redeemed, even after suffering through Deekin in SoU/HotU. I might have picked this.

The road to Hades is paved with good intentions.

Do you think September is a good timeframe in terms of getting the polish you want for the game?

If by that, you mean 'do you have to download 600 megs?', then yes.

BTW, HOMM5 demo is out.

http://www.totalvideogames.com/articles/Ne...95_0_0_10_0.htm NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO What the crap? Hmm, could be interesting, depending on how they pull it off. Having these options should be useful for modding, in any case. I will probably waste all my time messing around with these kinds of settings I also remember reading somewhere on the NWN2forums that it'd be possible to create 'vertical cities'. That flexibility is pretty cool. September ;_;

Armed Assault coop <3 <3 <3

I should probably be less excited than I am right now, but then again I'm not looking at the game's pics. It seems to me that World War 2 shooters tend to present incremental improvements over the winning formula without trying much else. Of course, they are winners. From Medal of Honor to Call of Duty they all seem to bring out great interpretations of that particular war. But I'd really wish other wars were equally well reflected, or presented in different ways. Pick up on the formula of games like Hidden and Dangerous or even Brothers in Arms and show other war theaters, for instance, would probably be a good thing. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Oh yeah, btw, did you play H&D in coop?

The IL2 series (...... Ubisoft) is apparently a pretty good PC WW2 combat flight sim. EDIT: Screw you, RP, stop stealing my posts.

I resent that. I'm not sullen and depressed for no reason other than to garner attention, YOU are.

Plus, we all know how dialogue and scripting are pretty negligeable parts of modding.

You two are perfect for each other.

Red Steel might be worth a rental. Come to think of it, I haven't played a Ubisoft game in a long time, aside from the HOMM5 beta.
